Special Presentation

The Martian
Codex with
George Haas and
William
Saunders
Did you think the Mars anomalies issues was settled? Think again. Drawing
from an opus of archaeological scholarship and cutting edge discovery
Haas and Saunders have collected a vast array of Martian structures that
are very similar, if not identical to the artwork produced by the
earliest cultures of Mesoamerica. Beginning with an
analysis of the controversial Face on Mars they unveil unprecedented
evidence that the Face is actually a bifurcated structure that mirrors a
set of corresponding masks found on a temple at Cerros, Belize.
Their presentation will highlight portions of their new book The Martian
Codex and display an array of images from across the red planet
including an expanded image of the Aztec god Quetzacoatl and NASA’s most
recent release of a third high-resolution image of the famous parrot
geoglyph that has 18 points of anatomical correctness. The
presentation will conclude with an examination of a recently discovered
aviary complex discovered in the northern region of Cydonia that
provides matching “tetrahedral” geometry to the original Cydonia
Complex observed by early researchers such as Richard Hoagland and Erol
Torun."

Special Presentation

George Noory
The host of Coast to Coast AM, will talk about
his career and the people he has met along the way and take lots of
questions from the audience. This will be the first time George
has spoken at the National Press Club.

Exopolitics, Disclosure and the National Security StateHistorian Richard Dolan will analyze the
patterns of UFO secrecy since the 1940s. Focusing on the national
security aspects of the UFO phenomenon, Dolan will explain how it was a
key factor in the creation of the U.S. "black budget," and hence a
subversion of the traditional American political system. He will also
discuss the paradox of how an end to UFO secrecy is both impossible and
inevitable. Finally, he will outline the challenges and probable shape
of a post-disclosure world. In other words, "life after contact."

RAF Bentwaters - the UK's Roswell
Linda will present updates about the mysterious, unidentified lights,
beams and craft seen by at least thirty military men the last week of
December 1980 and other sightings in January 1981 in the Rendlesham
Forest between RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, England. No one in the
U. K. or American governments officially called the event
"extraterrestrial" until June 25, 2009. That day former RAF Bentwaters
Deputy Base Commander, Col. Charles I. Halt, said in a press release
that the unidentified lights and beams he saw in Rendlesham Forest,
"...were extraterrestrial in origin and that the security services of
both the United States and England were and have been complicit in
trying to subvert the significance of what occurred at Rendlesham by use
of well-practiced methods of disinformation."

Featured in Linda's presentation are former Airman 1st Class, John
Burroughs, who was assigned to RAF Bentwaters police duty. John was in
Rendlesham Forest on both December 26 and 28, 1980, interacting with the
highly strange aerial phenomena. Afterward, some military colleagues
thought John either jumped on a craft of unknown origin or was taken
upward into a large, aerial light. Even now, thirty years later, John
has disturbing dreams and trouble sleeping. John had hypnosis in 1988
that broke through some of his memory block. Then in October 2008, Linda
found a hypnotherapist to help John Burroughs remember more about the
telepathic lights. She will also present new details about December 27,
1980, and comments from former RAF Bentwaters Deputy Base Commander
Charles I. Halt; former USAF security officer Staff Sgt. James
Penniston, who touched a black, glassy, triangular craft; and other
military men now coming forward, including a dramatic sighting of a
300-foot-diameter, cigar-shaped craft above the RAF Woodbridge East Gate
on January 9, 1981.

The History of British Police UFO Sighting
Gary has been researching this subject since 2002. He has now amassed
over 350 sightings between 1901 and 2008 involving over 700 British
police officers. Gary’s presentation will comprise of a brief history of
how his research began before giving a selection of the types of cases
contained on his PRUFOS Police Database website i.e. radar/visual, close
encounters. He will also comment on recent UFO/ET developments in
the UK.

Media, Ridicule and the CIA: How the Subject of
UFOs Was Made to Look Ridiculous and Why the Skewed Reporting
Persists
The subject of UFOs and their implications have been ridiculed and
laughed at since the summer of 1947, the advent of our so-called
modern age of sightings. How and why did this pattern of behavior
come to exist? What were the events which set it in motion, and why
is so important for us to grasp the reality of and implications
surrounding this historically distorted and derided subject? In this
illustrated presentation investigative writer Peter Robbins looks at
the birth and growth of the UFO ridicule factor and the strategies
which govern its effectiveness. Robbins then goes on to examine how
the CIA's 1953 Robertson Panel did their best to insure that such
distorted news coverage continues into present day new reporting. An
excellent introduction to the historic dynamics surrounding this
complex and profoundly important area of study.
